Photos: Operation Finally Home Surprise

Operation Finally Home and the Houston Texans partnered to surprise U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Stephen Netzley and his daughter Friday (Nov. 20) with the news they will be receiving a personalized mortgage-free home.

Stephen believed Lee Kirgan, vice president of project management for Operation FINALLY HOME, was in the area to meet with Stephen and his daughter before moving on to the formal interview phase. During the meeting, Stephen and his daughter were completely surprised when they heard a caravan of cars parading towards them. As decorated vehicles escorted by the Southeast Texas Patriot Guard Riders approached, representatives from the Houston Texans, Perry Homes and The Howard Hughes Corporation surprised the Netzleys with the news they'd already been selected to receive a new, mortgage-free home from The Howard Hughes Corporation and Perry Homes in Bridgeland, located in Cypress, Texas.
